Book description
A clear, actionable plan to fight frustration at work, make savvier
decisions, and avoid costly mistakes when we're short on time,
attention, and choices
One of the most frustrating dilemmas for working people today is how
to be effective when we feel we don't have time or we're facing
non-stop demands. The Power of Pause process is a dynamic
practice that Nance Guilmartin has taught thousands of people
worldwide, equipping them to regain control of thoughts and avoid
miscommunications. This tested method helps readers to take a moment
to wonder what's called for when we feel we're short on time,
attention, temper, or choices. In that instant, we can use a simple
method to rewire our overloaded circuits, tap into our
"missing-in-action" common sense, and raise our
communication intelligence. This process is not about slowing
down the pace of workday life. It is about enabling anyone who is
time-pressed to make savvier choices and avoid costly mistakes.
